Nintendo suing man who streamed leaked Nintendo Switch games
Posted on 5 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
November 8: Nintendo has been known to take game piracy very seriously, and yet another example of that is now happening with the company’s lawsuit against a streamer.
The heart of the case involves Jesse Keighin – also known as EveryGameGuru – who is claimed to have streamed pirated and emulated Nintendo Switch games, including some prior to launch.

Nintendo said in its lawsuit: “On October 24, 2024, after certain platforms had taken down his unlawful streams as a result of Nintendo’s enforcement actions, he sent Nintendo a letter boasting that he has ‘a thousand burner channels’ to stream from and [he] ‘can do this all day.'”
